"WE had a wonderful week in the Sea View Apartment."
Our host was so helpful throughout, I particularly appreciated the help given on arrival with my luggage. The apartment is so comfortable with everything you need provided. I already knew Borth-y-Gest, having stayed in the property next door but one regularly, in the late 60s and early 70s.I was still stunned by the view from the apartment. I had problems with the hob, Fiona looked at it immediately. I look forward to staying at the apartment again.
Hello Denise,
Thank you for your great feedback, it helps us enormously.
We look forward to seeing you again.
All the best,
Fiona and the team. Property Owner

A lovely, clean and comfortable apartment with wonderful view from the panoramic windows. We would like a second holiday there.
Thank you Fiona and family.

"We would have liked a freezer compartment in the fridge."
We needed a step to be able to reach into the kitchen cupboards properly. The yard outside needs to be tidied up as the view from the master bedroom was an eyesore. The TV did not have all the Freeview Channels eg Sky Arts & Drama so we were a bit disappointed. These are niggles & did not take away from the overall satisfaction with the letting.
Thank you Josie for your comments which we take very seriously and always try and address.
A new fridge with ice-box is being installed in the next few days.
We have been waiting for the removal of items to be taken but due to Covid this is overdue.
We do not subscribe to Sky due to the cost which we would have to pass onto customers.
We find most of our customers bring their own laptops etc. and use Netflix or similar.
We are always happy to help our clients with any problems on the spot if they just come and have a chat with us during their stay.
I am glad these niggles did not impact on your overall stay. Property Owner

"Sea View is a beautiful apartment with the most amazing views you can just sit and enjoy all day."
Fiona and her team are so welcoming and cater for your every need, including gorgeous cakes on your arrival.
The apartment is spacious and well equipped and Borth-y-Gest is quiet, unspoilt and a very relaxing place to stay.
Thank you for a lovely holiday xx
Thank you Katie for such positive and encouraging feed back.
We hope to welcome you again soon! Xx Property Owner

"Fantastic communication from the owner."
All my texted questions were answered straight away. Good flexibility in arrival time. The flat was clean, very well equipped and everything was clearly labelled. The little things were provided too, such as kitchen roll, waste bags, hot water bottles, torch, hairdryer and a whole range of cooking utensils. The view from the lounge window, overlooking the bay, was stupendous. We enjoyed watching the wading birds from there, and we could even see Portmeirion's lighthouse. The bed was very comfortable and the added bedspread was welcomed in the cold. During Storm Franklin, we did find the bedroom window draughty, so we kept the blinds and curtains closed. There was a heater available, but we didn't need it. The flat is above the bistro takeaway, which creates some noise, but this is largely during the day, so is not too intrusive: it generally closes no later than 7:30pm. The takeaway was serving some delicious ice cream - especially the rhubarb & custard flavour. We had a fabulous stay, the owners were really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. We felt this accommodation was was just perfect; - a great way to celebrate my 'significant' birthday.
We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.
Thank you Juliette, I am delighted you enjoyed your stay with us for the special event, and hope to see you both again. Property Owner

"The view from the lounge window was to die for!"
It was a continually changing picture across the bay, due to the tides and weather. We thought we had seen most places in north Wales but Borth-y Gest turned out to be a little gem with quiet hidden beaches right on your door step.
We took advantage of the take away food service down stairs several times, which was delivered to your door and was delicious.

"Ideally situated overlooking the bay of Borth-y-Gest, this is a beautiful holiday apartment."
Bedrooms and lounge are a nice size, kitchen a little small but adequate.
The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful and we had the added bonus of picking up morning coffee and ice-creams from the bistro takeaway downstairs. Also enjoyed a takeaway lunch and dinner from the bistro.
Would definitely recommend and would go back to stay again.

"The apartment was more spacious than the pictures indicated, it is better than when the photos were taken with a new induction hob and glass dining table with padded chairs."
It was very well laid out, wherever you were you got the fantastic view, the dining area, the kitchenette, the lounge seating.We loved having meals delivered, ready to eat from the Bistro below. The team there were very helpful and considerate.I loved to just get up and go for an early walk along the coastal path, each day a little different with the changing of the tide and the clouds on the mountains, it is a truly beautiful place.We were able to park outside, the bed was very comfy and the decor very tasteful.

"The position of the property was superb."
Handily placed for walking into Porthmadog and along the coastal path. Wonderful view over the bay from lounge bay window. Borth-y-Gest is a really relaxing place benefitting from free on street parking and a local bus service. It is convenient for touring this part of Wales and experiencing the narrow gauge railways and stunning coastal scenery. We did a lot of walking but also visited Barmouth, Caernavon, Aberdaron, Beddgelert and Criccieth all of which had their individual attractions

"We loved Borth y Gest."
We had visited a few years ago after being recommended by the lovely lady in the tourist information office in Porthmadog. It was a perfect place to explore North Wales. It was however very hard to leave the sofa as the views were stunning across the water and ever changing. Fiona, the owner was wonderfully lovely and helpful as were the staff in the Bistro downstairs. The flat was perfect and we shall definitely return!

Well maintained and clean.
The owner was there to meet us on arrival and made us very welcome.
As stated in the details the entrance is through the Bistro which for some may be a problem but has the advantage of coffee, cakes, cooked breakfast and lunches on tap.
Fiona kindly left cakes and supplies for a drink on arrival.
The view from the apartment is amazing!
We really enjoyed our few days in Borth Y Gest.
